spooky convenience
Jan. 9th, 2021 02:14 pmThe context: a few months ago, my employer, a technology company with about a hundred employees, switched health insurance companies.
Last week I emailed Dr. Gaydude to tell him that everything was going swimmingly but I was nearly out of progesterone, andplease sir, could I hove some more did he need to talk to me or run any tests before he renewed the scrip?
To my relief, he immediately prescribed me another 180 days' worth. To my surprise, he sent the scrip to a mail order service that I'd never heard of. I was so surprised, in fact, that when I got the first of two texts from them I disregarded it as possible fraud.
But no. Not only did I just get the pills in the mail with a few days to spare; the prescription service in question is linked to my new health insurer.
Where it gets weird is, I never got around to telling anyone at my doctor's office about my new insurance, at least not that I recall. Somebody else told them, I think, and I don't know who it was. I mean, yay, one less bureaucratic hoop to jump through? It's almost like living in a civilized country that doesn't do private medical insurance. On the other hand, I'm not 100% copacetic with my information being passed around like that. Or did I tell them months ago and forget about it?
